I have always been an avid fan of romantic novels and used to devour any romantic novels available. I had been thinking up different story lines (both romantic and otherwise) in my mind and filing it away ever since I was a small kid. It was my escape from reality. Since I was the eldest and always the responsible one, this escape into the fantasy land was were I could truly be wild and indulge in whatever I want to without getting into trouble or without receiving any censure.
Since story writing was never an acceptable profession and romance stories were never an acceptable hobby, I filed away even more of these in my mind never actually giving them a life away from my head. But now they are simply struggling to get out, I finally decided to get them out. So what you see here are my attempts at putting the escapism of mine into words. Would appreciate it a lot if you can give me your valuable feedback.
As for me
I am a research scholar currently at the last half of my PhD phase. I am stuck in front of the computer cleaning data, deriving models and fitting them. So this is my currently my hobby and takes up much of my free time which is a scarce commodity. The going back and forth between the harsh and dry reality of my professional life and the thrilling and fun-filled fantasy world keeps me balanced. So here I am.
Just because this is my first attempt at story writing does not mean that I have not written anything before. I have been an avid writer but all of it have been serious stuff (acceptable for someone like me to do). I have written numerous articles for various magazines ranging from social issues to light gossips and even an occasional short story. I have a blog which is related to my work which is a slow but steady climb. I write poetries about everything and have won accolades for them at various levels. I did write a fictional piece (very amateur one at that when I was really young) but hid it from everyone. Even now I am a bit embarrassed to reveal the fact that I am a romantic. So if I will remain a closet romantic or not will be determined by the feedback I receive. (hint hint...)
